Actually, among all the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents, Hawkeye is the most accepting of Ninjutsu.
When he was learning archery in his early years, Hawkeye spent some time in Japan, which is how he learned about the existence of Ninjutsu.
However, the Ninjutsu he knew was far different from the Ninjutsu displayed by the Akatsuki and the people of Konoha.
Compared to the Ninjutsu displayed by the Akatsuki and the people of Konoha, Japan Ninjutsu is utterly inadequate.
After further investigation, Hawkeye learned that the Ninjutsu used by the Akatsuki and the people of Konoha required a special kind of energy— Chakra— as its driving force.
Chakra is to Ninjutsu what magic is to magic.
The two complement each other and are indispensable.
From that moment on, Hawkeye wanted to know if he possessed the talent to cultivate Chakra.
Compared to physical training, cultivating Chakra, a new form of energy, is clearly more promising.
However, Hawkeye never had the opportunity to meet Minato Namikaze and the others, so his request remained hidden in his heart.
Today, he finally had the opportunity to come into contact with Minato Namikaze, a powerful Chakra user. He could no longer suppress his curiosity, which is why he did what he did.
But to his surprise, Minato Namikaze wasn't angry at all; instead, he was willing to let him experience the incredible Space-Time Ninjutsu!
This stirred a longing within Hawkeye: Could I also have the chance to master Chakra and learn Ninjutsu?
Perhaps, later...
Composing himself, Hawkeye looked at Minato Namikaze gripping his shoulder and resisted the urge to push it away.
Sensing the changes in Hawkeye's body, Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow, then took out a Three-Pronged Kunai from his ninja tool bag and shot it towards the hammer.
Sizzle!
The plastic sheet was mercilessly pierced by the Three-Pronged Kunai, but the Three-Pronged Kunai did not slow down and went straight to the top of Mjolnir.
Seizing the opportunity, Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting along with Hawkeye.
Whoosh!
The next second, a hand appeared on the handle of the Three-Pronged Kunai that was flying in the air Minato Namikaze grabbed the Three-Pronged Kunai and brought Hawkeye above Mjolnir Mjolnir, Thor's hammer.
Snap!
The two fell together. Hawkeye was a little flustered, but with Minato Namikaze's help, he managed to stand firmly on the ground.
Now, Hawkeye's contempt for Minato Namikaze completely vanished.
Originally, in Hawkeye's mind, Minato Namikaze was just a young man whose only strength was his Chakra cultivation since childhood, which is why he is so strong now.
"If I had been able to train my Chakra from a young age, I would definitely be stronger than Minato Namikaze now!" Hawkeye thought to himself.
But the reality is that the moment Minato Namikaze was able to react was one that Hawkeye couldn't seize at all.
That's why he panicked in mid-air and needed Minato Namikaze's help to regain his footing.
Putting everything else aside, Minato Namikaze's ability to react alone completely surpasses that of Hawkeye.
At that moment, Barton suddenly realized one of the essential talents required to master Space-Time Ninjutsu: reaction speed!
If your reaction time is too slow, even if you manage to master space- Space-Time Ninjutsu, you won't be able to use it effectively and might even hurt yourself.
Taking two deep breaths, Hawkeye regained his composure, and then he saw Minato Namikaze approach Mjolnir and reach out to grasp the handle.
Seeing this, Barton did not stop him.
Countless people have tried it before, and no one can lift this hammer.
Furthermore, physical contact won't affect the hammer, so let Minato Namikaze touch it if he wants!
This was the order Coulson, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, gave to Hawkeye through his earpiece.
However, to everyone's surprise, when Minato Namikaze gripped the hammer handle and slowly applied force, Mjolnir, Mjolnir, actually moved!
Click click~!
The angle of Mjolnir's hammer handle has been changed from 45 degrees to 50 degrees!
Although it's only a small change, it's definitely a real transformation!
This change surprised Coulson greatly. He quickly grabbed the clothes of the agent next to him and asked, "Was that scene filmed?"
Because they were so concerned about the hammer that fell from the sky, S.H.I.E.L.D.. set up cameras next to the hammer to record everything that happened to it.
The agent next to him nodded quickly, "Sir, it's all been filmed!"
"That's good!" Coulson released the agent, looked at the footage on the monitor, and fell into deep thought.
The agent beside him hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Coulson looked up. "Don't do anything. It's a small matter!"
Building a good relationship with Minato Namikaze is indeed a small matter compared to this.
If they were to interrogate Minato Namikaze relentlessly just because he picked up a hammer, it would definitely provoke Minato Namikaze resentment.
This would be a losing proposition, and Coulson certainly wouldn't do it.
